Fractions are a useful way of looking at the world. You can use them the same way you use percentages.

If you were rolling a die, you could say you have a 1 in 6 chance of getting a three. That's a fraction: 1/6. It's the same thing as saying you have a 16.7% chance of rolling a three because 1/6 = 16.7%.

Fractions give you perspective. Learning math makes you think more clearly; helps you organize your brain.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
